Since the
end of the previous regime, much economic, social and political progress has
been achieved despite significant challenges. To sustain these gains and secure
the
successful continuation of the reconstruction process will require the
effort and commitment of all Iraqis alike.
For those living abroad, there are now concrete opportunities to return to their
communities and be part of the change process.
The IRI Programme offers you one such opportunity. It offers
expatriate Iraqis who have migrated to other countries and achieved professional
success abroad the possibility to undertake short-term assignments of up to one year in Iraq.
Whereas experts in traditional technical assistance are typically foreigners,
the IRI experts are nationals now living abroad, proficient in Arabic or
Kurdish, with strong motivation and commitment to serveIraq and
demonstrated success in their profession.
The programme will target those
needs which cannot be immediately met by the human
resources insideIraq and which are deemed essential
for the reconstruction and development efforts of the country. The promotion of
equal employment opportunities is a fundamental aspect of the programme and
female experts are encouraged to apply.
The IRI Programme will
work to match applications with available employment opportunities within Iraqi ministries and public
institutions. Through the IRI
Programme, assistance is provided to the Iraqi authorities to
identify human resource gaps in key areas of the public sector and to develop
professional profiles and eligibility criteria for the posts required. At the
heart of the IRI Programme is this
website from where interested experts can apply, interested employers can post vacancies, and a
database to match the demand and supply of
expertise.
While the IRI Programme will offer a compensation package to
selected candidates, the strength of IRI lies in the
strong commitment of its experts to the reconstruction and development of
Iraq. IRI experts are provided logistical support for their deployment to
Iraq, are entitled to a roundtrip air
ticket and will receive a compensation fee for their services.
